NOTICE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

crowdfind will investigate notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2) (“DMCA”). Pursuant to the DMCA, written notification of claimed copyright infringement must be submitted to the following Designated Agent for the Services:

crowdfind, Inc.

4949 Forest Avenue, Floor 1

Downers Grove, IL 60515

support@crowdfind.com.

For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Designated Agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to crowdfind customer service through support@crowdfind.com.

To be effective, the notification must include the following (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA to confirm these requirements):

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.

Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please also note that the information provided pursuant to this notice may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content.

APPLICABLE LAW

Illinois law and controlling U.S. federal law govern any action related to the Terms and/or Your use of the Services. Choice of law rules of any jurisdiction and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any dispute under the Terms. You and crowdfind agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Cook County, Illinois, U.S.A.

crowdfind makes no representation that the content available through the Services is appropriate for access outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Although the Services are accessible worldwide, they are not accessible to all persons or in all geographic locations. crowdfind reserves the right to limit, in its sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any Service to any person or geographic area it so desires. Any offer for any Service provided by crowdfind is void where prohibited.

GENERAL TERMS

You must not assign or otherwise transfer the Terms or any right granted hereunder.

You agree that any material breach of Sections 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to crowdfind for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, crowdfind will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if crowdfind seeks such an injunction.

Services derived or obtained from Crowdfind may be subject to the U.S. export laws and the export or import laws of other countries. You agree to comply strictly with all such laws and, in particular, shall: (i) obtain any export, reexport, or import authorizations required by U.S. or Your local laws; (ii) not use Services derived or obtained from Crowdfind to design, develop or produce missile, chemical/biological, or nuclear weaponry; and (iii) not provide Services, content, or products derived or obtained from this Website to prohibited countries and entities identified in the U.S. export regulations.

Rights and obligations under the Terms which by their nature should survive will remain in full effect after termination or expiration of the Terms.

Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the Terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Crowdfind reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as Crowdfind deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Crowdfind’s sole discretion.

A printed version of these Terms and of any notices given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
